Don't say Bomb!

Okay with the recent bombing here on American soil and the media hayday, and outpour of support across our country now go across the great seas to a nation that have countries that seems to always have turmoil, chaos, and yes bombs.  http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/06/world/africa/egypt-clashes/index.html  This is just one insistance of a common occurance in this conflicting nation.  I have learned over the years depending on the group of people you keep company with there are two things you should never bring to the table.  One is politics, and the other is religion.  It seems to be the norm when searching around the internet for material to use in my blog, to find pictures of burned out buildings, cars, and lives taken in these violent attacks.  This particular story has to do with the clash of the Muslims and the Christians, apparently Christianity is the minority in Egypt(not a big surprise there) and there is constant tension between the groups. Why is it that one group is passive, and the other is so extreme or radical? Why is it things have been this way for thousands of years, and nothing ever seems to change?  Why is there such hatred amongst people for believing what they believe?  There will always be conflict and different points of view!!
